Emilie-Claire is French in Origin.

Emilie-Claire is a French-influenced compound feminine name joining Émilie and Claire. Émilie is the French form of Latin Aemilia, derived from aemulus, rival; striving, later linked with the idea of being industrious. Claire comes from Latin clarus, clear, bright, renowned, popularized through the medieval cult of St. Clare. Combined, the name evokes an industrious and bright character, eager in effort, luminous in presence.

Hyphenated double names are often a hallmark of Francophone naming, especially in France, Quebec, Belgium, and Switzerland, and saw renewed favor in the late 20th century; Emilie-Claire remains uncommon yet distinctive, boosted in visibility by Canadian jazz singer Emilie-Claire Barlow. Variants include Émilie-Claire (accented), Emilie Claire/Émilie Claire (unhyphenated), Emily-Claire (Anglicized), Emelie-Claire (Nordic-influenced), plus component equivalents Emily/Emilia and Claire/Clare/Clara/Chiara.
